Tonight we are celebrating Dame Libby Komaiko’s life and the remarkable gift of her art in the creation, life, and continuing mission of the Ensemble Español Spanish Dance Theater and Center. We are all confident that in the years ahead we will continue to hear from the many voices who knew Dame Libby. They were her students, they were her dancers, they were her colleagues, guest artists, they were her staff, they were in the audiences that sustained the Ensemble over 40 years, they were donors, they were board members, board of trustees, advisory council members, parent committees, volunteers, of the Ensemble Español. They were community members, students, faculty, staff, and they all were so proud of what Ensemble Español gives to the world community. Tonight we will hear from our wonderful dancers and watch their beautiful dancing in some of Dame Libby’s favorite works and world premieres performed by both the adult and youth company’s and guest artists. Be assured that in all the years ahead Dame Libby will be remembered in dance companies and audiences around the world, in our nation and our City. Dame Libby’s passion for Spanish dance was only exceeded by her passion for excellence, education and community. She was an inspiration to all who met her. We dedicate ourselves to those same passions as we carry on her legacy. Our deepest and sincerest admiration, love and gratitude for the gift she has left us. Special welcome and thank you to Northeastern Illinois University new president, Dr. Gloria Gibson, guest artists: Carmela Greco, Carlos Rodriguez, Jose Barrios, and guest musicians: Paco Fonta, Antonio Gabarri Jimenez, David Chiriboga, Javier Saume-Mazzie, Jane Kenas Heller and Brian Torosian.

He was a sentimentalist. What the Alhambra was to Albéniz, Madrid was to Granados. Dame Libby first created and performed this exotic 19th Century classical and oriental stylized dance with her mother, Dorothy Komaiko as the pianist. In 1933, as a child of eleven years, Dorothy was the first prize gold medalist of the piano competition of the Chicago Federation of Musicians at the landmark Auditorium Theatre. She played the music of Chopin and Granados. Since her passing in 1987 Dame Libby has performed this work with symphony orchestras and recently with guitars. The guitars reflect the nobility and delicacy that Dorothy’s artistry reflected on the piano. Dame Libby since then dedicated this dance to her mother, Dorothy.

  • Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment
    Introduction To Flamenco: Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment by "Flamenco Chuck" Keyser P.O. Box 1292 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 [email protected] http://users.aol.com/BuleriaChk/private/flamenco.html © Charles H. Keyser, Jr. 1993 (Painting by Rowan Hughes) Flamenco Philosophy IA My own view of Flamenco is that it is an artistic expression of an intense awareness of the existential human condition. It is an effort to come to terms with the concept that we are all "strangers and afraid, in a world we never made"; that there is probably no higher being, and that even if there is he/she (or it) is irrelevant to the human condition in the final analysis. The truth in Flamenco is that life must be lived and death must be faced on an individual basis; that it is the fundamental responsibility of each man and woman to come to terms with their own alienation with courage, dignity and humor, and to support others in their efforts. It is an excruciatingly honest art form. For flamencos it is this ever-present consciousness of death that gives life itself its meaning; not only as in the tragedy of a child's death from hunger in a far-off land or a senseless drive-by shooting in a big city, but even more fundamentally in death as a consequence of life itself, and the value that must be placed on life at each moment and on each human being at each point in their journey through it. And it is the intensity of this awareness that gave the Gypsy artists their power of expression.

  • 1. Introducción El Flamenco Es Un Arte Bastante Joven, a Pesar De Ello Está Rodeado De Misterio Puesto Que No Se Sabe Mucho Co
    1. Introducción El flamenco es un arte bastante joven, a pesar de ello está rodeado de misterio puesto que no se sabe mucho con certeza sobre su origen. Entrar en el mundo del flamenco es entrar en un mundo caótico ya que es un mundo enorme donde existe una cantidad de teorías y opiniones distintas sobre su origen, su desarrollo y todo que tiene que ver con el flamenco en general, además de ser un género en constante evolución. Este ensayo tiene como objetivo dar una introducción general al flamenco; tanto a su origen como su historia, su desarrollo, los palos diferentes, el cante, el toque y el baile. Se pretende que el lector tenga una idea sobre lo que es el flamenco. Se intentará responder a las siguientes preguntas: ¿qué es flamenco? ¿De dónde viene? ¿Cómo ha evolucionado desde su aparición hasta nuestros días? ¿Los cambios son positivos o negativos? ¿Hay que mirar con pesimismo hacia el futuro del flamenco? Andalucía, el flamenco, el traje de gitana y el ¡olé! han formado gran parte de la imagen de España para muchos turistas durante años. Es cierto que el flamenco ha sido, y sigue siendo, una atracción turística, pero a pesar de ello hay mucha gente que no sabe lo que verdaderamente es el flamenco. Tienen ideas equivocadas, pues, piensan por ejemplo, que es un arte muy serio que transmite y expresa solamente dolor y sufrimiento, y que las bailaoras están siempre enfadadas cuando bailan, por la expresión de sus caras y como taconean con rabia, pero no es así.

Para demostrar que esta consideración es el resultado de un largo proceso de transformación, se analizan los escritos sobre tonás y martinetes y se compara el contenido de sus coplas con las descripciones de ciertos hechos históricos. En múltiples casos coinciden los fragmentos, aunque sean muy breves, con determinados acontecimientos reales, lo que se puede interpretar como un indicio de que las letras efectivamente derivan de unos textos de romances noticiosos, narrando sobre asuntos carcelarios y la persecución de los gitanos. Uno de los hechos concretos constituye la Prisión General de los Gitanos, realizada en 1749, incluyendo su preparación y sus consecuencias.

  • Evolution and Structure in Flamenco Harmony
    Evolution and Structure in Flamenco Harmony By Peter Manuel The unprecedented vogue and revitalization of flamenco since the early 1960s have generated a considerable amount of scholarly literature on the subject, written primarily by Spaniards. These studies, while contributing greatly to our understanding of flamenco in its historical and social context, have tended to avoid less overtly humanistic subjects, including any analyt­ ical discussion of the structural aspects of flamenco as music per se. Hence, such a topic as the structure of flamenco harmony has received only passing mention in flamenco studies or oblique reference in guitar manuals. While flamenco musicians themselves are generally uninterested in theo­ rizing about their music, flamenco harmony is one of the most crucial expres­ sive aspects of the genre and certainly merits some study in this regard. On a broader level, an inquiry into flamenco harmony may reveal some of the-­ processes by which musical acculturation and instrumental idiosyncracies can generate a syncretic and highly distinctive harmonic system. This article addresses certain aspects of the development and present form of flamenco harmony. In brief, it advances two hypotheses: first, that flamen­ co harmony is a syncretic product of Arab modal practice and European harmony, and second, that many of the most distinctive features of the har­ monic system, and in particular the use of altered chords, have arisen in direct connection with idiosyncratic characteristics of the guitar. The first of these theses, although difficult to document, is hardly original, and indeed, is widely taken for granted among flamenco scholars. Before proceeding direct­ ly to these arguments, some introduction to flamenco harmony and style may be appropriate here.
